- Generate numpy/_distributor_init_local.py during build so libopenblas
can be located when running from the Windows installer
- Add os.add_dll_directory() call at runtime as a fallback for embedded Python
- Broaden audio import errors from ImportError to Exception, log at warning
- Move visualizer WS re-subscription into loadAudioDevices() so it runs
after availability is confirmed from the API
- Show/hide the visualizer toggle button based on fetched availability
Instead of waiting for the next poll cycle, new clients now get the
current playback status immediately on connect by calling get_status_func
if no cached status is available yet.
Two root causes for the 'imaging extension was built for another version
of Pillow' error users hit after install:
1) cleanup_site_packages ran 'find ... -name "*.py" ! -name "__init__.py"
-delete' with a comment claiming 'keep .pyc only' — but no compileall
step exists. Result: the dist shipped __init__.py + .pyd only, missing
every submodule (Image.py, ImageDraw.py, _version.py, ...). Fresh
installs were broken; in-place upgrades produced a half-old/half-new
site-packages. Removed the deletion entirely.
2) NSIS installer extracted over the previous install without cleaning
python/, app/, scripts/. Upgrades left stale files (old PIL/_version.py
next to new PIL/_imaging.pyd) which raised the Pillow ABI mismatch.
Wipe those subtrees before File /r, preserving config.yaml at the
install root.
pystray in WIN_DEPS (per-dep loop) downloaded its own Pillow version,
which overwrote the one resolved alongside CORE_DEPS during unzip.
Result at runtime: '_imaging extension was built for another version
of Pillow'.
Move pystray into VIS_DEPS so it's resolved in the single cross-deps
pip-download call and shares one consistent Pillow version.
uvicorn[standard] pulls uvloop via a 'sys_platform != win32' marker.
pip evaluates env markers against the HOST (Linux in CI), so uvloop
is requested even in a --platform win_amd64 resolve. No uvloop wheel
exists for Windows, so pip backtracks across every uvicorn[standard]
version and fails with ResolutionImpossible.
Use plain uvicorn plus the Windows-compatible extras we actually need
(httptools, websockets, python-dotenv).
The per-dep loop regressed pydantic/pydantic-core compatibility:
each dep resolves transitive versions independently, so 'pydantic'
brings core 2.41.5 while 'pydantic-settings' brings core 2.45.0,
and the later wheel overwrites the earlier during site-packages
unzip, producing:
SystemError: pydantic-core 2.45.0 is incompatible with
pydantic, which requires 2.41.5
Fix: single pip-download call for CORE_DEPS + VIS_DEPS so pip
resolves compatible transitive versions. Keep the per-dep loop
with --pre only for WIN_DEPS, where each dep needs its own
platform/non-platform fallback and winsdk requires --pre for
its beta wheels.
Single pip-download call fails because the second fallback branch
(without --platform) tries to resolve Windows-only deps like winsdk
on Linux, where no wheels exist. The original per-dep loop isolates
each failure so the platform-specific branch handles each dep
independently. Add --pre throughout for winsdk (1.0.0bNN beta).
If a tag or CI ref is not PEP 440 compliant (e.g. 'dev', 'nightly',
'snapshot-2024'), the previous detect_version stamped it raw into
pyproject.toml, which then broke 'pip install' with:
configuration error: project.version must be pep440
Add a regex check after stripping the leading 'v'. If the result
is not PEP 440, substitute '0.0.0.dev0' and warn.
Pattern from ClaudeCodeFacts/gitea-python-ci-cd.md §3.
The single pip-download call regressed winsdk fetching because pip
won't pick up pre-releases (1.0.0bNN) without --pre. The old per-dep
loop hid this via its fallback branch. Add --pre to both branches.
setup-node and actions/cache@v4 hang trying to talk to a missing
cache server, adding 1-3min per step. Drop the cache: directives
and explicit cache blocks. Keep the single pip-download call in
build-dist-windows.sh which is independent of any cache backend.
- Add pip and npm caching to build-windows and build-linux jobs
- Cache embedded Python zip and Windows wheels across runs
- Collapse per-dep pip download loop into a single resolver call
First run after this lands populates the caches; subsequent
release builds should drop from ~11min to ~3-5min.
Patches HTMLDialogElement.prototype.showModal globally to move focus
onto the dialog element itself instead of the first focusable
descendant. On touch devices the previous behavior popped up the
on-screen keyboard whenever a modal opened, which was confusing.
- Root folder cards with hero-style layout and SVG icons
- Full-width thumbnails with aspect-ratio grid items
- List view column headers (Name, Bitrate, Duration, Size)
- Modernized breadcrumb with pill segments and overflow handling
- Proper skeleton shimmer replacing emoji hourglass on thumbnails
- Pagination shows "Showing X-Y of Z" item count
- Refined hover effects, animations, and visual hierarchy
- Download button revealed on row hover in list view
- Type badges hidden by default, shown on hover
- Localized new keys in en.json and ru.json
workflow_dispatch-triggered build.yml that produces Windows
installer/portable and Linux tarball as CI artifacts without
creating a release. Trigger from Gitea UI → Actions → Run.
- Rename GITEA_TOKEN to DEPLOY_TOKEN in release workflow
- Extract shared version detection into build-common.sh
- Use importlib.metadata for runtime version instead of hardcoded string
- Use PEP 440 parsing (packaging lib) for update version comparison
- Add packaging>=23.0 to dependencies
- Fix update banner close button alignment (CSS)
- Update CLAUDE.md with versioning docs and frontend rebuild notes
- Abstract ReleaseProvider protocol for platform-agnostic version checking
- GiteaReleaseProvider implementation using stdlib urllib
- UpdateChecker service with periodic background checks and WS broadcast
- Persistent dismissible banner in Web UI when a new version is detected
- Health endpoint now returns cached update info
- Configurable via update_check_enabled and update_check_interval settings
- i18n support (EN/RU)
The previous os.execv approach and console_script detection both
failed on Windows. Now restart always spawns `python -m media_server.main`
via subprocess.Popen with start_new_session, which works regardless
of how the server was originally started.
- Rewrite tray to run on main thread (pystray owns message loop, uvicorn
in background thread) — fixes unresponsive confirmation dialogs
- Use native Windows MessageBoxW instead of tkinter (embedded Python
has no tkinter)
- Pin numpy <2.0 to fix soundcard's numpy.fromstring (removed in 2.0)
- Strip transitive numpy 2.x wheels in build script
- Installer copies config.example.yaml as config.yaml on fresh install
- Suppress noisy screen_brightness_control warnings
